Hello folks I was going to buy the sammy tab s 10.5, and i found out that there is no S-Pen like Galaxy note series have...
Ive heard some good things about the S pen, i dont know how good they are but looked fine for drawings and note-takings that I do. I definitely need some good, precise stylus that supports palm rejection. i know there is other thread about stylus, but then there was no need for palm rejection in that thread.
If yall know of any stylus with palm rejection, just throw it out there for me. Would tab s 10.5 be compatible with stylis for ipads, such as jot touch 4 and HEX3 Jaja?
Oh, and id I have two bluetooth device for my tablet(i.e: keyboard and stylus), would they work at same time, or do I have to disconnect one to use the other one?
Thanks in advance!

Targus Stylus for Samsung - Black
I am using the Targus Stylus for Samsung with my Tab S 8.4. Works perfect. Precise, fine-tipped and a comparatively harder tip (which doesn't scratch the screen but still gives good control). But there is no palm rejection. I believe palm rejection is app-dependent and available only to the Note devices.

I've been using my c-pen from my old galaxy s3 s in my new tab s 10.5 and it works perfect, very precise and smooth, at least works perfect in S-Note and autodesk sketchbook app :good:
Is this the real deal?
Anyone have any luck with these?

Is this an actual Samsung C-pen?

The S Pen that comes with the Galaxy Note is magnetic (think wacom drawing tablet). It won't work with the Galaxy Tab.
You could use a capacitive stylus.
$8.00 @best buy. great for drawing on sketch book mobile and faster typing.

Give the Adonit Jot a look-see. I have used mine on the TF101 and GT+ with varied results. Seems to work great with SuperNote on the TF101 better than on the GT+ so far but still tweaking around with it.

Does it work with screen protector applied on the Tab? I have SGP Ultra Clear and I tried most pen and they don't slide as easily on the screen.
I just tested out a surface pro at staples and I have to admit the stylus is as good if not better than writing on paper. Its snappy and stays right with the pen without any lag. And onenote has unbelievable scribble recognition, picked up everything I jotted down. Is there anything that can be done to have the note writing as smooth as the SP? If not I think I'll be selling mine off and holding off for a pro 2, because as is the note just isnt meeting my needs.
What do you mean? I just sold my Surface Pro for the big Note and its digitizer performs just as well as the one on my Pro did. If you want, you can buy the Surface Pro pen ($35) and Papyrus, which us just as good for wiring stuff (which I do all of the time).

When writing on the 10.1 there is a noticeable distance between the pen and ink appearing when writing in a normal manner. You have to write slowly for the ink to catch up whereas on the SP it's right on top of the pen no matter how quickly you scribble. This causes the 10.1 to miss certain aspects of the writing when you write quickly.
I don't write slowly at all and the pen is able to catch up with me on all of my strokes. I just wrote a slightly length journal entry in Papyrus and it didn't slow down on me once. I was actually surprised, considering that I was actually expecting some lag.
I think this is a fault of whatever application you're using (S Note?). For what it's worth, I'm on CM 10.1.

Ill have to test some more but more input from other users would definitely be appreciated. Im on stock and yes Snote is the app I use
Try Papyrus.
Papyrus doesnt seem to havr text recognition though I must admit the the pen is smooth. Correct me if im wrong

You sound like a troll to me.

I'm confused when people say "have the note writing as smooth as the SP" What do you mean write smooth? Is it you nib that is not smooth because there is a smooth hard nib.
I don't have the issues you write about, is your Note rooted or running something other than stock touchwiz?
.
What other stylus work on the note like the s-pen?
The lag that you experience on Samsung galaxy note 10.1 it's the same experienced on samsung ativ smart pro and on the ativ tab 7 and it's there because the Samsung S-note app is made that way. The samsung app is very nice and user friendly ( OneNote is the complete opposite ) but it does have a little lag when you are scribing. Anyway, I'm actually looking for a tablet PC right now and my first choice would be the samsung ativ smart pro or the tab 7 because it can be used with both OneNote and S-note. S-note has some lag it's true but it's more straightaway expecially for taking note on the fly and more important it has a big button to disable the touch screen so you don't have to keep your stylus at 3 mm from the screen in order to have palm rejection ( can't understand why microsoft haven't put a simil function on the surface pro as it basically disable the touchscreen device from the device list via a single button ).

I was wondering if any of you knew of a larger compatible stylus for the Note 4 I could purchase. I don't want to use one that has a fat capacitive end like all those cheap styluses I see on the internet, I'm talking about a larger stylus with the same functionality of the S-Pen.
Pretty sure the Wacom specific stylus' work. Here is one specific for the note line, but I think others work as well.
http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Bamboo-Stylus-Samsung-CS300UK2/dp/B00IWJM9SW
The first notes used to have the pen accessory that came with a styles and it slipped into a "pen" sized holder. Wish samsung brought that back for our devices.

There are several options:
Most (if not all, because The Note series is using Wacom technology) Wacom styli works
HM-5100 Bluetooth-enabled S Pen
Or the fancy Montblanc Styli
All of those are larger styli that works with our Note 4.
I hope I can help
Edit:
I added links:
You need penabled styli. So the Wacom Intuos will not work, but FE a wacom pen for Microsoft surface will work, and for nealry every tablet PC will work!!
I'm seeking a stylus pen so that I can scribe on the fire as easily as writing on paper.
I tried this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KW0JYWS/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Drawing is fine, the ink pen is great, but the stylus is not very good for writing words on the tablet. I'll see about posting a video review soon.
Ive also ordered this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014QK6QKC/ref=ya_st_dp_summary
I'll report back when that comes in tomorrow.
Anyone with any recommendations?
Thx!

I have 3 stylus pens, my dad gets them at conferences and give them to me. On all 3, the Fire has trouble registering the touches. I tried to take notes during class using all 3, and it ended up writing bad and the notes ended up illegible. I am not sure about drawing, maybe a good drawing app might make the drawings look appealing.
Styluses (styli?) are normally only marginally better than your finger on capacitive touchscreens, as the digitizers usually don't have high enough resolution to take advantage of a fine-tipped pen. On top of that, you have issues with "palm detection" where the software tries to differentiate between the stylus and the portions of your hand that inevitably contact the screen when trying to write on it.
To really be able to approximate natural handwriting on a mobile screen, you need something that can give more detailed feedback to the device, like the S Pen used on Samsung's Galaxy Note devices, or like the Adonit Jot Script stylus available only for iPad at the moment.
Agreed on the marginal differences. However they are faster than typing on a touchscreen. Ive been practicing for a while with the Kamor combo pen.
I did read that the Adonit Evernote has palm rejection.
the Key for me is to write big.

my video review:
https://youtu.be/1FcvSCpByzY
I find this weird, I used to use a Palm Pilot, (was it really 13 years ago, wow). You'd figure the technology that the Palm Pilot used would be much better today. Maybe they should invent an accessory with an app to mimic whatever was done with the Palm Pilot. Honestly, I only remember being happy with taking notes on it. I may be embellishing the good parts, due to it being so long ago.
In this video review, the guy says (at 3:18) this tablet DOES NOT support an "active pen". I hope he is mistaken and just means it doesn't support specifically the "S pen". Should a universal active pen work with the Tab A8 T290? I think of buying the pen below, the manufacturer says it should work on any touch screen. The problem is that, if it doesn't work, I won't be able to return, I am in Italy and will send it to my niece in Brazil... so I have to make sure. Thanks if you can help!

"Active" pens, which are battery powered, work with devices that have a digitizer layer on the display. The non-S pen model Tab A won't support those pens.
Instead, you can use the universal non-battery or battery-powered capacitive stylus or pens, like these ones:

I already tried the first one but the experience wasn't good enough for me. The second one is arriving next week & I'm hoping it'll be better.
Coincidently, I already have exactly the first cheaper Meko. I had bought it in order to save money and use it on my Windows Surface 3, it didn't work... I can in fact write a whole sentence with a lot of pain, but not really usable. The bigger soft tip is always responsive, but not nice for note taking. In the end, I had to spend more money and buy the Surface pen (which is very good). I've also tried the cheap Meko on an iPad, it works better, but not really good enough for note taking. I haven't tried it on an Android device, though.
Please let me know if the Meko with the battery works better.
Thanks for your answer.

Unfortunately, and against my expectation, the battery-powered Meko pen performed worse! [emoji34] Instead of smooth lines, it was just dots everywhere.
On my iPad, though, it worked flawlessly.
I ended up returning both of the Meko pens.

So you mean the battery-powered Meko worked well on your iPad but not on your other device? Which one is it? Would it be Samsung Tab A8?
I guess it's a matter of luck, these styluses respond differently depending on the device.
I've been testing again the cheaper Meko Stylus (with no battery). These are the devices I've tried:
Surface 3 - very bad, not usable. 1 star.
iPad 4 - it could be used, but very painfully, not practical. 2 stars.
iPad 6 (2018) - very good, not great. It is usable to take important notes, like school notes. 4 stars.
Huawei P20 pro - very similar to iPad 6, responds very well. 4 stars.
Cheap Android phone (Leagoo) - very bad, 1 star.
I'm thinking of trying my luck on that "AICase Active Stylus Pen" (the one I put the link before, you can find in Amazon Italy)... it's an active stylus for 25 euros with a glove to rest the palm on the screen.
Thanks for you answer.... and please let me know if you find some good stylus for Samsung Tab A8 T290.

On my iPad, both of the Meko pens worked well - 4/5 for the disc-based one, and 5/5 for the battery one.
On my Tab A, the disc one worked better than the battery one - 3 vs 1.
I found this pen on Amazon for the Tab A that has good reviews:

I was about to state that ALL "active stylii" require a second digitizer to work but apparently that isn't totally true. I bought a BoxWave stylus to use with my HP Envy X360 laptop, and just to verify that it wouldn't work without the second digitizer, like the ones for the S-Pen, I tried it with my T510. I have never used a stylus for drawing, so I don't know if it works as well as an S-Pen for that, but it DOES work and it DOES produce a "ballpoint pen" type line. Their "MSRP" is fairly high, but if you shop around, you can get one fairly cheap. I got mine in eBay for about $20. New with free shipping.
My "AICase Active Stylus" (from Amazon Italy) just arrived. It works very well, except that the glove that comes with it is useless, you can still use your finger to write with the glove on. I'm struggling to find some material that I can use to rest my palm... It's very uncomfortable to write without being able to rest your palm on the screen.
I would say it's a bit better than the passive Meko Stylus, especially for the iPad 4, which has an older screen. It has a metal tip, so you should have a screen protector to prevent scratches.
I've tried on these devices:
Surface 3 - doesn't work, it makes a few lines, but not good at all.
iPad 4 - works well enough
iPad 6 - very good, works a bit better than on the iPad 4
Huawei P20 pro - works similarly to iPad 6
I still haven't tried on a Samsung tablet.
